THE PRESIDENT: The United States Senate is debating a very vital issue
for our country, and that is immigration reform. I urge the senators to
continue to work toward getting a comprehensive bill; a bill that will
help us secure our borders; a bill that will cause the people in the
interior of this country to recognize and enforce the law; and a bill
that will include a guest worker provision that will enable us to more
secure the border, will recognize that there are people here working
hard for jobs Americans won't do, and a guest worker provision that is
not amnesty, one that provides for automatic citizenship.

This is a vital debate. I thank the members who are working hard to get
a bill done. I strongly urge them to come to a conclusion as quickly as
possible and pass a comprehensive bill.
